A large (but not largest) increase in the number of farms with just a modest increase in total population? Stats here don't answer much. usa.ipums.org/usa/resource... (p. 38)

I don't know about that. Food history is really hard. Here's the Atlanta Constitution in 1922. A corn-syrup-free "old southern favorite" custard-based pie.

From M.D. Bourassa, an Anishinaabe man in Saganing, MI, April 1881:

"The Indian boys got together and voted solid and got most of the Offices...The opposite party [white people] are in such a rage, they intend to have another election...their plea is that the Indians have no right to hold office."

Revealing a "Beat Arkansas Razorbacks" t-shirt as his first official act as UF president? Spiteful. I didn't realize Sasse knew I left UF for UA.

Somehow I'm still surprised by the effort spent by Indian Affairs officials to control all aspects of Native Amer. life (and the nonsense theories behind it). Here, in 1890, the commissioner determines what people are allowed to eat on reservations, even as those people constantly report hunger.

I once had a student who looked exactly like John Jay. As this image made it onto the screen I wondered if anyone else noticed.

Oh man, I hope artists who have done similar work, like this local guy who's been doing it for years, aren't hurt by AI: artistjasonjones.com/portfolio/fi...
